...ok, for starters I think we'll need a new song for the manager, but that's not because I don't think he'll deliver the goods at Molineux.

The alleged menu of managers was hardly delectable, but in many fan polls the former Villa manager topped the charts as the preferred fans' choice of those on offer.

Do I believe he was Wolves number one target for the job?

No, absolutely not, but do I believe Wolves have a safe pair of hands to get the best from an under-performing squad, absolutely.

Paul Lambert did an amazing job at Norwich and is still very well thought of by many at Carrow Road.

The former Borussia Dortmund midfielder took the Canaries from League 1 to the top flight in consecutive seasons and on Norwich's return to the Premier League guided them to an impressive 12th place finish.

So if he could deliver similar at Wolves then I'm sure the Molineux faithful would be more than happy with that kind of progress.

Fans of Wolverhampton Wanderers do the Icelandic clap

Of course many people will focus on his recent times at Blackburn and Aston Villa, but I think it was safe to assume that he was working under restrictions at both Ewood and Villa Park.

Also, since Lambert parted company with Norwich, Villa and Blackburn, they are all in lower positions than what he left them in, some coincidence that.

For me this could be the start of a very promising relationship; Lambert with previous success at this level and Wolves with the tools to support him.
